ENGINE STORAGE
a separate, portable supply of
recommended fuel.
NOTE:
If engines are stored where
condensation of water in the fuel
tank may be a problem, additives
containing methyl carbitol or butyl
cellusolve may be added to the fuel.
Follow manufacturer's instructions
for treatment. Where biological
contamination of fuel may be a
problem, add a biocide such as
Biobor® JF (or equivalent) to the
fuel. When using a biocide, follow
the manufacturer's concentration
recommendations and observe all
cautions and warnings.
7. Drain the fuel system and remove
the fuel filters. Dispose of used
filters in an environmentally
responsible manner, according
to state and/or federal EPA
recommendations. Fill the new
filters with No. 1 diesel fuel or
pure kerosene and install on the
engine.

NOTICE:
Failure to properly seal off the
turbocharger air inlet and exhaust
outlet openings before engine
storage may permit air drafts to
circulate through the turbocharger
and rotate the turbine/compressor
shaft without an adequate flow of
lubricating oil to the center housing
bearings. This can result in severe
bearing damage.
12. Turbocharger: Since
turbocharger bearings are
pressure lubricated through the
external oil line leading from
the oil filter adaptor while the
engine is operating, no further
attention is required. However,
the turbocharger air inlet and
turbine exhaust outlet connection
should be sealed off with
moisture-resistant tape.
